Ang nobelang ito ay nagpapakita ng isang tunay at wagas na pagmamahalan. Masasaksihan natin na ang puso ay kusang tumitibok para sa isang taong itinakda ng tadhana para sa atin. Kahit na sino pa siya at kahit saan pa siya nagmula, kapag puso na ang nagdikta ay wala na tayong magagawa kundi tanggapin ito.

"We can never control who we fall in love with.." Tama nga naman. Hindi natin nakokontrola kung sino ang taong mamahalin ng puso natin. Kung kanino titibok ang puso natin. But what if tumibok ito sa taong hindi dapat.. Sa taong hindi pwede... Sa taong bawal... Mapipigilan pa ba? "Controlling is an illusion. We can't control everything."
